“…[12][13][14] The highly conductive cubic phase can be stabilised through the creation of lithium vacancies, and the optimum conductivity is found for lithium contents of 6.4-6.6 per garnet formula unit. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] In addition, to facilitate the practical application of ASSBs, issues such as high interfacial resistances between the electrode and electrolyte, and the lithium dendrite penetration problem within solid state electrolytes have attracted much attention in recent years. [26][27][28][29] The interfacial impedance between the garnet and electrode mainly arises from the poor contact in association with microscopic voids and grain boundaries of garnet, as well as an insulating Li 2 CO 3 surface layer formed in air initiated by the proton/lithium exchange at the surface.…”

High‐capacity cathodes and anodes in energy storage area are required for delivering high energy density due to the ever‐increasing demands in the applications of electric vehicles and power grids, which suffer from significant safety concerns and poor cycling stability at the current stage. All‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have been considered to be particularly promising within the new generation of energy storage, owing to the superiority of safety, wide potential window, and long cycling life. As the key component in ASSLBs, individual solid electrolytes that can meet practical application standards are very rare due to poor performance. To the present day, numerous research efforts have been expended to find applicable solid‐state electrolytes and tremendous progress has been achieved, especially for garnet‐type solid electrolytes. Nevertheless, the garnet‐type solid electrolyte is still facing some crucial dilemmas. Hence, the issues of garnet electrolytes' ionic conductivity, the interfaces between electrodes and garnet solid electrolytes, and application of theoretical calculation on garnet electrolytes are focuses in this review. Furthermore, prospective developments and alternative approaches to the issues are presented, with an aim to improve understanding of garnet electrolytes and promote their practical applications in solid‐state batteries.
“…29 These include other small cations, such as gallium, that directly substitute lithium; [30][31][32] larger cations, such as tantalum or niobium, that substitute zirconium or lanthanum on the M or M sites; 10 and donor anions, such as fluorine, that substitute oxygen. 33 Donor doping is usually assumed to affect lithium stoichiometry by causing the formation of charge-compenstating lithium vacancies, e.g. for a trivalent cation such as Al 3+ substituting for monovalent Li + , charge neutrality considerations suggest that 31,32 [Al…”
The Li-stuffed garnets LixM2M 3 O12 are promising Li-ion solid electrolytes with potential use in solid-state batteries. One strategy for optimising ionic conductivities in these materials is to tune lithium stoichiometries through aliovalent doping, which is often assumed to produce proportionate numbers of charge-compensating Li vacancies. The native defect chemistry of the Li-stuffed garnets, and their response to doping, however, are not well understood, and it is unknown to what degree a simple vacancy-compensation model is valid. Here, we report hybrid density-functional-theory calculations of a broad range of native defects in the prototypical Li-garnet Li7La3Zr2O12. We calculate equilibrium defect concentrations as a function of synthesis conditions, and model the response of these defect populations to extrinsic doping. We predict a rich defect chemistry that includes Li and O vacancies and interstitials, and significant numbers of cation-antisite defects. Under reducing conditions, O vacancies act as colour-centres by trapping electrons. We find that supervalent (donor) doping does not produce charge compensating Li vacancies under all synthesis conditions; under Li-rich / Zr-poor conditions the dominant compensating defects are LiZr antisites, and Li stoichiometries strongly deviate from those predicted by simple "vacancy compensation" models.
